Got Sushi

I have been to this sushi joint three times now. They tend to get VERY busy past 7:00pm. The service is outstanding! They ladies are very quick to get drinks ordered and on the table, as well as refills. I have only eaten at the sushi bar — I have yet to try the teppanyaki. The place is clean but the tables are very closely packed together, which is fine if you are not expecting a private booth. The fish is very flavorful and the portions of nigiri and sushi are adequate. The sushi chefs are nice and will strike up conversation if welcomed — always a plus for me when sitting at the bar. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have had a couple of rolls there that were less than tasty. Most of the rolls I have had are great! Good portion not too big or too small. Overall I would say it’s a great local joint when you don’t feel like driving across town.

Decent food, fun atmosphere, accommodating for dietary needs.
This is more of a teppanyaki-​style restaurant than a sushi restaurant, in my opinion, but the name is what it is. Maybe that’s the impression I got because of where I sat. When you walk into the restaurant, the grill tables are really the first thing you see. There are 4 tables seated around the grills. When I got there, my family was already seated, so I didn’t have to wait to be seated. It was a Friday night, and the place was pretty packed, though there didn’t appear to be a wait.
A few of the people in my party wanted teppanyaki-​style dinner, while my brother and I wanted sushi. So we got the show and some of the grill items while still eating the sushi. First, I’ll comment on the show.
The show was pretty good. Every teppanyaki place entertains a bit while cooking, and Got Sushi is no exception. Our cook was a lot of fun and broke out a few different items to assist with the entertainment. I particularly enjoyed the whistle he used while steam came out of the onion «volcano» to bring to mind a train. The cook was quite personable and kept us all entertained while cooking.
As a starter, we got little bowls of broth and a small iceberg lettuce-​based salad. I’d recommend going dry with the salad and adding the ginger sauce they bring out instead of the standard salad dressing. They said the ginger sauce is good for fish, but it also goes great with the salad.
We all got to share in the rice, vegetables, and other non-​meat items that he made. We had fried rice, but without the eggs because of sensitivities for a few of us. It wasn’t quite as tasty as legit fried rice, but it was stll good (though the vegetables were clearly of the frozen variety). The actual vegetable dish was pretty solid – fresh vegetables fried up on the grill in front of us with some sesame seeds thrown on top as a finisher. And then there were some noodles cooked with bean sprouts. Our chef was quite liberal with the «Japanese ketchup» (i.e., soy sauce). Oh, and we all got a piece of shrimp out of it, but only after our chef entertained us a bit with the then-​still connected to their tails shrimp.
My fellow diners had steak, salmon, and chicken as their main dishes. All of them were quite good and had large portions. The salmon especially seemed to be huge. You get your money’s worth out of these dishes, for sure.
My brother and I shared 3 different rolls and 3 orders of nigiri. The Red Dragon roll and the Got 2 were equally delicious. The Red Dragon roll was not quite as spicy as we’d have liked, but the flavoring was excellent. The Got 2 has thinly-​sliced lemon on top of it, and the bitterness adds just the right extra flavor to the roll to really make it work. We also had the Rainbow roll, and it was a solid choice. The salmon and tuna nigiri were both fresh and delicious. Both seemed to have rather large cuts of fish, so that made me happy.
I especially appreciated the accommodating nature of the service. We all have various food allergies with which to contend, and they did their best to accommodate all of them. They were attentive and made sure to assist with avoiding those items we needed to avoid.
While I really appreciated the service and enjoyed the food, this just didn’t seem to go beyond 3 stars for me. I am happy to come back at some point in the future, but it wasn’t something fantastic to me.

My husband is a huge sushi fan, he says the hand rolled spicy tuna at this place was the best he ever had in AZ! The California roll was delicious with the big pieces of crab! Service was ok, had to ask for the check to leave, but thats no big deal… will be eating here again!

Walked in tonight hoping for Sushi dinner for two. We stood at the front counter for 10 minutes with no one even acknowledging we were there. There appeared to be two waitress working, one clearing tables the other one serving. We left and ate across the street.

I was in a terrific mood. All the kids were in school and I wanted to do something enjoyable for myself. I decided on sushi and a good book. Entering Got sushi, I was seated right away and asked what is like to drink… good start. After a few minutes, I ordered and my food was brought out less than 10 minutes after that. Great. The gyoza were very good and perfectly crispy and served with a lightly spicy dipping sauce. Very good. Miso soup was very salty. The sushi… yuck. Worst las Vegas roll I’ve ever had. The sauce is weird tasting and I’m not sure that the crab was fresh. I did not get sick, it just was not good tasting.
Out comes the bill. It was around $ 12.50. I gave the waitress my card and she comes back saying it was declined. I was super embarrassed and dont carry any other type of payment. I quickly checked my account and confirmed that I definitely had more than enough money in the bank. Wondering Wtf was going on, I asked if they minded of I ran to Basha’s to the bank. The waitress tells me yes but I need to leave my kindle and cell phone. I told her that wasn’t going to happen and she started to get agitated. I didn’t want a scene and told her I’d leave my kindle but I wanted it in her possession or behind the register. She refused and said it’d stay on the table where anyone could take it.
After a minute of quietly trying to impress on her that I wanted my kindle somewhere safe and wasn’t okay leaving it out in the table and her refusing to put it somewhere safe, I said screw it and got up, leaving the kindle on the table. She again told me to leave my phone as well. I laughed and told her she had to be kidding. No way was I leaving both a kindle and an $ 800 phone with them over a $ 12 tab. Unbelievable! Not happening. She relented this time.
Got to the bank, found it they had sent a new card to the wrong address a month ago and closed my card that day. Got a temp card and hurried back to pay. Luckily the kindle was still there. I paid my $ 12 bill and left.
Between the bad tasting roll and the way the waitress acted, I will not be back… ever. I’ll sick to sushi kee or try one of the other sushi restaurants here.

I liked this place a lot. I’m not a big sushi eater, but we went for my wife’s birthday and she loved it. I thought it was good too. I also got teriyaki chicken which was awesome. However, my chicken came out before my rice. So I ate most of my chicken and rice separately. That was probably the only negative part of my experience. It wasn’t over crowded, and it was nicely decorated. Had a few big screen TVs in there with sports and stuff on which is nice. Everything was kept clean and organized and the customer service was excellent. I never had an empty drink on my table, which is nice because I drink a lot of dodo or water or whatever is in front of me while I’m eating. It was a great place to go, this is actually the 2^nd time we have spent my wife’s birthday here because she likes it so much. I was just a little bit bugged about not having my rice and chicken at the same time.

We love this sushi place, not just for the fantastic sushi but the staff is so generous and interested in you as a customer. I observed several customers coming in throughout the night recognizing and calling out the staff by name and it felt like a great home atmosphere. My husband had frequented many sushi bars, but keeps coming back to this one. I now understand why.

Been eating here for years! Great food and better service!

We have been coming here for years! This review is long overdue. Always the same staff-​the ladies are so great. We live in Scottsdale now and still make the drive. We compare all our sushi to Got Sushi-​and nothing compares for the value. The salmon sashimi is what I live for here! I’ve never found any comparable. The salmon consistency is perfect. Also the Crazy Roll is Amazing!!! If you’re into local and not necessarily being at the trendiest but by far the most authentic and kind-​then definitely start coming here!

Best sushi in AZ hands down. We have been regulars here for years and will never go anywhere else. The fish is very fresh and tasty. The owners are so friendly and very involved with not just the staff but their guests. The ladies, table chefs and sushi chefs are always attentive and positive. The wasabi roll and squid salad are must try items!

I was really hoping to give this place a 5 star and I normally do not give low stars unless I’m really disappointed. Although the place was clean, service was great and we had a free delicious miso soup to start, the sushi was not good at all. It was flat, and had no flavor whatsoever. The recommendation by the server was good and fresh but was too pricey. Every thing else was average. We also ordered two rolls that had Eel in them and they were bad! I pushed them away and wouldn’t let my husband eat them. I’ve tried so many caterpillar rolls in so many different sushi places in Arizona and other states but this was unfortunately the worst I’ve ever had. I’m not going back again.

The best sushi in the east valley! Actually, Got Sushi has the best sushi I have ever had. My favorites are the Mango Philly and the Jalapeño Popper! Love love love them. The ladies that work there are so sweet and always remember me when I come in. Happy hour is the best and he prices are great!

Definitely a favorite place for my wife and I. The staff is very welcoming and the prices are reasonable. We’ve gone to other places that we’ve liked or were not impressed with, but Got Sushi is always our place to return to

Amazing sushi! Called for take out and the service was excellent. Prices were exceptional for the quantity and quality of our food. Rolls were delicious and unique. Highly recommended!

The website is way out of date and the staff could not accommodate any sort of substitution on any level for what is posted on their website. I came in specifically for the Ginger Mahi and they no longer offer it. I don’t think it was any fault of our server but they were very unwilling to take any sort of special request AT ALL. I mentioned that they need to update their website to avoid the same issue with other patrons. The server laughed at me. Not a great start.
My friend ordered two sushi rolls that tasted fine but they fell apart. I ordered the Salmon that was drenched in teriyaki sauce, it was meh.
I’m really disappointed. I’m glad I tried them though just to know better than to go back.

I have been here several times and the food is always awesome. The service is great as well however no much for talkers. Most of the time I go I order there Volcano Roll and let me just say that no one makes it as good as they do. I will be going back for more soon.

Two words: real crab. I’ve been here many times over the years, but the more I branch out to other sushi restaurants the more I appreciate Got Sushi. On Happy hour prices you can get a California roll — with REAL crab — for $ 4. That is what most places seem to charge for Krab. I’ve only ever come for sushi at lunchtime (came once for teppanyaki at dinner) but service is always prompt. Some days they are more friendly than others, but overall everyone is pleasant. Today, everyone went out of their way to be friendly, the rolls were delicious, and I got that little orange at the end for dessert. I definitely recommend this place for good sushi.

Got Sushi has some great tepanyaki and sushi. We come here once every so often to get out sushi and tepan fix. The tepan chefs are all very good and funny, and of course, if it’s your first time, you’re in for a great show.
The staff here are all friendly and accommodating. At lunch, if it’s not too busy, they’ll sometimes chat with you, but not so much as to make your meal uncomfortable.
Prices here are pretty typical. They also have a happy hour menu, but I wish it covered a greater variety of sushi.
Overall, my family is always satisfied with our visit, and we always come back.

Excellent atmosphere, staff is very friendly and you can definitely see that they care about customers with how they interact with repeat customers. Miso soup is good but not much to say there is Miso soup, the squid salad on the other hand fantastic not over seasoned or drowning in the sauce and portion size is larger then expected. The itamae is very pleasant and more than happy to answer questions and explain different dishes. Ordered the GTO roll very good but if you have a problem with smooth texture don’t get this, flavors mingle well and nothing is overpowering. The other roll that was ordered I didn’t ask the itamae, I just told him something special and spicy. It was chopped ahi tuna, avacado, sliced jalapeños and so many other delicious items to list, but it the roll was sliced as usual laid in its side and piled high with the chopped items and served in a boat. The presentation was gorgeous. Crazy Roll! After I was finished the itamae gave me a sliced orange served in it’s the rind to complete the meal.

Our first visit with friends who recommended it. Great food and service. I would’ve given five stars but we felt like we were rushed from the time we sat down. We had a sitter, so we were trying to take our time. The chimichanga roll was really good. We split the shrimp and steak dinner and added an extra soup/​salad: miso soup wasn’t miso soup, broth with a slice of mushroom and a green onion so that was a bit disappointing cause I love a good miso soup! The salad was good. The chef was funny and great at his job!
